The Bismarck Republican is the primary sponsor of a bill that the North Dakota Legislature passed Friday that would essentially ban abortion by defining human life as beginning at conception. The bill is one of a series North Dakota lawmakers have passed this year, chipping away at abortion rights. (AP Photo/James MacPherson)
